  mountaintops or sea floors. NASA and SpaceX signed a
• 1:02
  unfunded space act agreement, Thursday September 22nd to study
• 1:07
  the feasibility of a SpaceX and Polaris program idea to boost
• 1:12
  the agency's Hubble Space Telescope into a higher orbit
• 1:15
  with the dragon spacecraft at no cost to NASA or the government.
• 1:20
  There are no plans for NASA to conduct or fund a servicing
• 1:22
  Mission or complete this opportunity.
• 1:25
  The study is designed to help the agency, understand the
• 1:28
  commercial possibilities. He's SpaceX and partnership with
• 1:32
  Polaris program proposed. This study to better understand
• 1:35
  the technical challenges associated with servicing.
• 1:38
  Missions. In this study is not exclusive.
• 1:40
  In other companies May propose similar studies with different
• 1:43
  Rockets, or spacecraft, as their model teams, expect to study to
• 1:47
  take up to six months collecting technical data from both Hubble
• 1:51
  in the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. In this data will help determine
• 1:55
  whether it would be possible to safely Rendezvous Dock and move
• 1:59
  the telescope into a more stable orbit.
• 2:02
  NASA said this is a study and it's an exciting example of the
• 2:07
  Innovative approaches. NASA is exploring through
• 2:10
  private and Public Partnerships. And they said, as our Fleet
• 2:15
  grows, we want to explore a wide range of opportunities.
• 2:19
  To support the more robust superlative science, missions
• 2:22
  possible. Now while Hubble and dragon will
• 2:26
  serve as test models for this study portions of the mission
• 2:29
  concept, may be applicable to other spacecraft particularly
• 2:32
  those in near-earth orbit like Hubble and Hubble has been
• 2:36
  operating since 1990 about 335 miles above Earth in an orbit
• 2:42
  that is slowly decaying over time and re boosting Hubble into
• 2:46
  a higher more stable. Orbit could add multiple years
• 2:49
  of operations to its life in at the end of its lifetime NASA
• 2:53
  plans to safely, The orbit or dispose of Hubble and the
• 2:57
  non-exclusive SpaceX study regarding the possibilities of
• 3:01
  re boosting the Hubble Space Telescope is ongoing on
• 3:04
  Thursday. December 22nd 2022.
• 3:07
  NASA issued a request for information to seek additional
• 3:10
  information about commercial capabilities available to
• 3:13
  reboost, a satellite in orbit, using Hubble is a demonstration
• 3:17
  at no cost to the government in there.
• 3:19
  No plans at this time for NASA, to conduct or fund a dedicated
• 3:23
  Hubble servicing. Mission, the request for
• 3:25
  information will remain open until Tuesday, January 24th,
• 3:29
  2023 as NASA. Continues exploring options for
• 3:33
  Hubble's future. There's been some controversy
• 3:36
  around a Twitter account called at jet.
• 3:39
  The owner of the account is a college student who ran the band
• 3:43
  Elon jet Twitter account which used publicly available
• 3:46
  information to track. Elon.
• 3:48
  Musk's private jet has resumed his activities on the platform
• 3:52
  under a new user. Name.
• 3:54
  And as reported by Insider Jack Sweeney. 20 years old has
• 3:58
  created a new account called Ilan jet next day, which tracks
• 4:03
  musk's private jet with a 24-hour delay, to avoid
• 4:08
  violating Twitter's rules and Sweeney's original Elan.
• 4:11
  Jet account was suspended last week.
• 4:13
  After musk accused, it of revealing his live location
• 4:16
  which is prohibited under Twitter's policies, the platform
• 4:19
  updated its rules to specifically prohibit the
• 4:22
  publishing of a person. Real-time location on the same
• 4:26
  day that the Elan jet account was suspended.
• 4:28
  Sweeney told Insider that he will be posting manually for now
• 4:33
  while he works on automating the account.
• 4:36
  Now musk tweeted on December 15th, that's posting locations.
• 4:40
  Someone traveled to on a slightly delayed basis.
• 4:43
  Is in a safety problem so is okay.
• 4:46
  And Twitter's policy also states that sharing publicly available
• 4:51
  location information, after a reasonable amount of time Time
• 4:54
  has passed when the of individual is no longer at risk
• 4:57
  of physical harm is not a violation and the platform's
• 5:02
  definition of live location data, refers to a person's real
• 5:05
  time or same day whereabouts. Now most commercial and private
• 5:10
  aircraft are equipped with automatic dependent surveillance
• 5:13
  broadcast technology or a dsb. Which transmits a unique code
• 5:19
  tied to the airplanes. Tail, number containing
• 5:22
  information such as altitude. In GPS location.
• 5:26
  The information is publicly available in aircraft flying in
• 5:29
  the US, and Europe are required to transmit it, in order to
• 5:33
  prevent midair collisions. Now in a statement made in
• 5:36
  November, Ilan said he would not ban the original Elan jet
• 5:40
  account as part of his commitment to free speech and
• 5:43
  despite claiming that it posted a direct personal safety risk
• 5:47
  and the automated Ilan jet account which has amassed over
• 5:50
  540,000 followers. Before it was permanently banned
• 5:56
  on December 14th. Posted publicly available
• 5:59
  information regarding the location of mosques 2015
• 6:02
  Gulfstream G650, ER now musk had previously offered Sweeney five
• 6:09
  thousand dollars to have the account taken down, Sweeney came
• 6:12
  back and said, hey, can I in turn it one of your companies?
• 6:15
  Could you up the price? Like what, what can we do to
• 6:19
  barter here? Sweetie is out there making a
• 6:23
  bot to Track elon's Jet. But you know Ilan said, look,
• 6:27
  I'll give you 5000 dollars to just take it down, you don't
• 6:30
  need to track me. And now, several General several
• 6:33
  journalists who reported on the Elan jet account or also banned
• 6:37
  from Twitter on December 16th. Now musk later reinstated, some
• 6:41
  of these accounts on December 18th, after conducting a poll
• 6:44
  asking users if he should unsuspended accounts who docks
• 6:47
  my exact location in real time. Now it should be noted that the
• 6:52
  journalists who were banned for reporting on.
• 6:54
  Ilan jet had not disclosed masks real-time location.
• 6:58
  Now let's move on to some SpaceX news SpaceX successfully
• 7:03
  launched the first batch of its next generation of Starling
• 7:06
  satellites into orbit on Wednesday morning December 28th
• 7:10
  of 2022. The Falcon 9 rocket which took
• 7:13
  off from the Cape Canaveral space force station in Florida.
• 7:16
  It 4:34 a.m. eastern time was carrying 54 upgraded Gen 2
• 7:22
  versions of the internet satellites.
• 7:24
  The launch Mark the company's 60th Flight of the Year nearly
• 7:27
  doubling its previous record of 31 launches in 2021 and the Gen
• 7:33
  2 satellites are more powerful than the approximately 3,300
• 7:37
  that are currently in orbit and are expected to help alleviate
• 7:40
  congestion issues. That the Broadband network has
• 7:42
  been experiencing in a recent report from space news
• 7:46
  suggested. The despite sending hundreds of
• 7:48
  first-gen, starlink satellites Aloft this year, the Broadband
• 7:52
  network was facing. Congestion was those in the Gen
• 7:55
  2 satellites are also able to beam service directly to
• 7:58
  smartphones. According to SpaceX founder,
• 8:01
  Elon Musk, Jesse Anderson is SpaceX production and
• 8:05
  engineering manager said, during the live launch cometary under
• 8:09
  our new license. We are now able to deploy said
• 8:12
  lights to new orbits that will add even more capacity to the
• 8:15
  network. Ultimately, this enables us to
• 8:18
  add more customers and provide faster service, particularly in
• 8:22
  areas that are currently over. Subscribed Anderson went on to
• 8:26
  explain that. The goal of the project is to
• 8:28
  provide high speed low, latency internet, to people, living in
• 8:32
  remote, and Rural locations around the globe at about eight
• 8:36
  minutes. After liftoff of the Falcon 9,
• 8:38
  first stage, return to Earth with a landing on spacex's
• 8:42
  drone. Ship a shortfall of Gravitas in
• 8:44
  the Atlantic Ocean were rough. Recovery weather threatened to
• 8:48
  delay. The launch, the touchdown Marcus
• 8:50
  successful and to SpaceX is 60th launch of the year.
• 8:54
  The Falcon 9 first stage on this Mission, maybe it's 11th flight
• 8:57
  with Wednesday's launch. The booster had previously flown
• 9:00
  five-star leg missions. Launched to u.s.
• 9:03
  GPS satellites. The mouse at 301 Commercial
• 9:06
  satellite and carried two different private, astronaut
• 9:09
  Crews on the inspiration for in a X1 missions.
• 9:12
  According to SpaceX. And in addition to using the
• 9:15
  Falcon 9 rocket SpaceX plans to eventually launched its Gen 2
• 9:19
  satellites aboard its massive Starship rocket which is
• 9:23
  currently in development. In Boca Chica Texas.
• 9:26
  The company has been awaiting approval, to fly the rocket to
• 9:29
  space for about 18 months. And Anderson also mentioned that
• 9:33
  the company will attempt to recover.
• 9:35
  The to payload fairing halves the made up the Falcon Eyes Nose
• 9:38
  cone which had both flown before for later reuse.

  SpaceX applied to the FCC for permission to send nearly 30,000
• 11:59
  of these gn2 satellites to low earth orbit and on December 1st.
• 12:03
  The FCC granted approval for the deployment of 7,500 of them.
• 12:07
  However, this was only a partial approval as a company, it
• 12:10
  applied for permission to send nearly 30,000 of the satellites
• 12:14
  up in the generation. 2 satellites deployment will be a
• 12:19
  significant step forward for spacex's starlink project the
• 12:23
  up. Upgraded satellites will not
• 12:25
  only be able to handle more traffic, but they will also be
• 12:28
  able to beam service directly to smartphones.
• 12:31
  Providing even greater accessibility to the satellite
• 12:34
  internet service. The launch of the first batch of
• 12:36
  Gen 2 satellites marks, an important milestone for the
• 12:39
  company and sets the stage for future, launches of the upgraded
• 12:43
  satellite Fleet and on August 25th 2020 to T-Mobile CEO and
• 12:48
  president Mike. Sievert and SpaceX chief
• 12:51
  engineer Elon Musk held a live event to announce.
• 12:54
  Average above and beyond, which is the new plan to bring
• 12:57
  cellular connectivity to remote. And previously unreachable
• 13:01
  locations in the United States this will be using spacex's new
• 13:05
  gem to Starling satellites and despite the widespread coverage
• 13:09
  provided by powerful LTE and 5G networks.
• 13:13
  There are still over half a million square miles on the us
• 13:16
  as well as vast stretches of ocean that are completely
• 13:19
  without cellular coverage from any provider.
• 13:22
  This is often due to land Has restrictions terrain limitations
• 13:26
  in the sheer vastness of the country and in these areas
• 13:29
  people are either disconnected or forced to pay exorbitant
• 13:33
  rates for satellite phones. Now T-Mobile and SpaceX share a
• 13:36
  vision of a world where these uncovered areas or a thing of
• 13:39
  the past and they're taking steps to make that Vision a
• 13:42
  reality and by leveraging SpaceX is Starling constellation of
• 13:46
  satellites and low earth orbit and T-Mobile's leading wireless
• 13:50
  network, the company's plan to provide near complete coverage.
• 13:54
  In most places in the US including in many remote
• 13:57
  locations that have previously been without traditional cell
• 14:00
  coverage. The service will work with the
• 14:02
  majority of smartphones already on T-Mobile's Network and will
• 14:06
  not require any additional requirement.
• 14:09
  Customers will be able to use their existing devices to
• 14:13
  connect to the network, which will be broadcast from starlink
• 14:16
  satellites. Using T-Mobile's mid band
• 14:19
  Spectrum Nationwide. This true satellite to cellular
• 14:23
  service will provide nearly complete coverage almost
• 14:26
  anywhere. A customer can see the sky T
• 14:30
  Mobile plans to offer text coverage practically everywhere
• 14:34
  in the continental US. Hawaii Parts of Alaska, Puerto
• 14:37
  Rico, and territorial By the end of next year, with the goal of
• 14:42
  eventually, adding voice and data coverage as well.
• 14:45
  And the company is Will begin with a beta test.
• 14:47
  And select areas after SpaceX is planned satellite launches text
• 14:51
  messaging including SMS MMS and participating messaging apps
• 14:55
  will allow customers to stay connected and share experiences
• 15:00
  almost anywhere in addition to expanding coverage Above and
• 15:03
  Beyond in the u.s. T-Mobile and SpaceX have issued
• 15:07
  an open invitation to all other. Here's around the world to
• 15:11
  collaborate and expanding the service globally.
• 15:14
  T-Mobile has committed to offering reciprocal roaming to
• 15:17
  providers that work with them to enable all of this technology.
• 15:23
  Now, this is a huge deal for SpaceX.
• 15:25
  The Gentoo Starling satellites that went into orbit just the
• 15:30
  other day. Well, they're going to be
• 15:32
  powering this, network of users on T-Mobile and it's kind of a
• 15:36
  thing where people in rural areas.
• 15:39
  Has if they just can't get a starlink set light.
• 15:41
  Maybe they already have a T-Mobile phone but they don't
• 15:44
  want to sign up for starlink internet and they don't want a
• 15:48
  satellite on their property for some reason but they do have a
• 15:50
  cell phone that could be a game-changer for these people in
• 15:54
  rural areas. Now let's move on to some Elon
• 15:58
  Musk Twitter news and as the CEO of both, Tesla and SpaceX Elon
• 16:03
  Musk is no stranger to controversy and change.
• 16:05
  But is time as the chief twit or the head of Twitter has been
• 16:09
  Clearly marked by snap of a finger changes in sometimes
• 16:13
  Swift backlash. However, in a recent interview
• 16:16
  on the all end podcast must have brushed off these ups and downs
• 16:21
  is growing pains. He said in the beginning, will
• 16:24
  make obviously a lot more mistakes because I'm new to.
• 16:27
  Hey, I just got here, man. He said, I think we'll have
• 16:31
  fewer guests in the future one of the main source of
• 16:34
  controversy during musk's tenure at Twitter, has been the mass
• 16:37
  layoffs that occurred shortly. After he took over.
• 16:40
  These layoffs are now the subject of ongoing lawsuits.
• 16:44
  In addition to the layoffs musk also halted the implementation
• 16:48
  of new features such as paid verification in pulled back
• 16:52
  employees, who were responsible for monitoring and distributing
• 16:55
  content on the site. Now, most recently has faced
• 17:00
  criticism for the temporary suspension of the accounts of
• 17:03
  several journalists, despite the negative attention that these
• 17:06
  actions have garnered musk remains committed to Taking
• 17:09
  quick and decisive action. When asked about the controversy
• 17:13
  surrounding product iteration or the evolution of a product or
• 17:15
  feature must compared it to a baseball metaphor.
• 17:19
  He said we're going to swing for the fences here at Twitter and
• 17:22
  we're going to do it quickly. Even if it means having to
• 17:25
  strike out a bit more. Now, one of the new features
• 17:29
  that has received a lot of attention, both positive and
• 17:32
  negative is the views feature that Twitter unveiled this
• 17:35
  month. This feature shows, users, how
• 17:37
  many people saw a Alert wheat, which many users have criticized
• 17:42
  for cluttering the interface musk defended, the feature
• 17:44
  saying that it was a lot harder to implement than people
• 17:47
  realized in despite the challenges that must be his
• 17:50
  face, is a CEO of Twitter. He remains confident in his
• 17:53
  leadership style when asked about his cultural influence
• 17:56
  among Tech peers who are fascinated by his solo
• 17:59
  leadership approach musk acknowledge that there are risks
• 18:02
  associated with having absolute power, but it believes that as
• 18:06
  long as he can, maintain a good batting, average things will
• 18:08
  work out In the end, he said, as long as the batting average is
• 18:11
  good, it will be a great future. On Wednesday evening, Twitter,
• 18:18
  users around the world were met with a series of frustrating
• 18:21
  errors. That left them unable to access
• 18:24
  the site or app according to down detector.com.
• 18:28
  There was a spike of around 10,000 outage reports for
• 18:31
  Twitter starting, just after 7:30 p.m. eastern time, these
• 18:36
  reports included errors about exceeded rate limits.
• 18:39
  Failing to fetch new tweets and the site or app crashing by
• 18:43
  10:30 p.m. Eastern to the number of reports
• 18:46
  had dropped to less than 1. Thousand.
• 18:48
  And while the mobile app seemed to work, for some people other
• 18:50
  is including at least one staff member had trouble accessing it.
• 18:55
  And the issues seem to vary in come and go as shown by the
• 18:59
  bounce in the down detector chart.
• 19:01
  It was difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the problems and
• 19:04
  it's worth noting that not everyone experience these same
• 19:07
  issues. Some users reported the site
• 19:10
  would simply refresh without any prompt for a username or
• 19:13
  password While others saw error messages when they tried to
• 19:16
  access a Say this isn't the first time that Twitter has
• 19:20
  faced issues since CEO. Elon Musk fired.
• 19:23
  A large portion of the company staff earlier this year.
• 19:26
  Many users have reported seeing a number of problems with a
• 19:29
  service since the layoffs. However, despite some
• 19:31
  predictions, the site has mostly stayed up and running during
• 19:35
  major events like the World Cup during during musk self reported
• 19:39
  instances of unplugging, one of the most sensitive server racks
• 19:44
  this time. It remains unclear what caused
• 19:45
  the issues on Wednesday. A evening in Twitter support has
• 19:48
  not yet mentioned. The glitchiness musk has only
• 19:51
  commented that the site worked for him.
• 19:53
  The company did not respond to a request from the website, The
• 19:57
  Verge and it is widely reported to have disbanded his press
• 20:01
  office, by the way, because everyone was fired.
• 20:04
  And despite these difficulties Twitter was able to recover
• 20:07
  relatively quickly from the outage.
• 20:09
  Well, it's always frustrating when it platform experiences
• 20:12
  technical issues, it's important to remember that these things
• 20:15
